‘My husband and I went to play golf on the west coast': Catherine Zeta-Jones on filming Netflix hit ‘Wednesday' in Ireland

‘My husband and I went to play golf on the west coast': Catherine Zeta-Jones on filming Netflix hit ‘Wednesday' in Ireland

Ahead of Wednesday season two, Catherine Zeta-Jones discusses why the series and the Addams family are so relevant, visiting her Irish roots with husband Michael Douglas and feeling blessed in midlife
Lately, we have become accustomed to very open public and private conversation about the realities of midlife, and yet it still seems strange to discuss Morticia Addams in this particular bracket.
That said, in the new, second season of Netflix's Wednesday, Morticia, played again by Catherine Zeta-Jones, is very much a woman navigating the recognisable rigours of midlife.

Netflix's Perfect Match Is Back - But Who Is Daniel Perfetto?

If you're looking for all your favourite reality shows in one, then Perfect Match is the watch for you. The show brings together stars from the likes of The Bachelor, Love Island and The Challenge, Love Is Blind and Too Hot to Handle, to allow them to find their dream partner. The show, which is currently in its third season, sees contestants partner up and take part in challenges. The winner of the challenges gets to pick if they want to bring in singletons and send them on a date with someone else in the villa, or even themselves. Cue lots of drama. One contestant reality TV fans might recognise is Daniel Perfetto, who rose to fame after appearing on Netflix's dating show Dated & Related. On Perfect Match, he's been coupled up with Lucy - but time will tell if they have what it takes to go the extra mile. Daniel Perfetto rose to fame on the Netflix show Dated & Related. He is from Ontario, Canada, and he previously worked as a client care specialist and fitness trainer. Now, he seems to be focusing on his career as an influencer, with his Instagram page showing luxury holidays and dinners out. Since his appearance on Dated & Related, he's amassed more than 80,000 followers on his Instagram account. Daniel appeared on Dated & Related in 2022. The show saw 16 single contestants hoping to find their perfect match in the South of France, who are all competing for a $100,000 prize. But there was a catch – their siblings would be there too, observing them while they went on dates and hung out in the villa. Daniel appeared on the show alongside his sister, Julia Perfetto. He formed a sweet connection with his co-star Nina on Dated and Related, which blossomed near the end of the show. The pair attempted to make long distance work, with Nina returning to her home in the UK and Daniel going home to Canada. However, it proved to be too tricky for the couple, and they are no longer together – with Daniel now hoping to find the one on Perfect Match. Yes!

Absolutely Everything You Need Too Know About Sandy Gallagher, The Star Of Netflix's Perfect Match

With Love Island coming to an end tonight, you might be wondering how we're going to fill the reality shaped hole in our TV schedules. Step in Perfect Match, Netflix's dating show, which features contestants from other reality shows, who then pair up and compete in a series of challenges. Think of it as all your favourite dating shows, in one. After a successful first couple of runs, the show is back for its third series, with the cast featuring stars from Love is Blind, Temptation Island, Love Island USA and UK and Too Hot to Handle, to name a few. One of the stars who will be making an impact on the show is Sandy Gallagher, who has matched with former Too Hot to Handle lothario Louis Rusell. Sandy Gallagher is a reality TV star who found fame on season three of Netflix's The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Since the show, Sandy has been making waves in the fashion, entertainment, and entrepreneurial worlds - and now has a reality TV stint coming up. In an interview with Lady Gunn, Sandy spoke about how her journey to the entertainment industry came as a surprise. 'I never really thought I'd be in the entertainment space, to be honest. I was on a much more traditional route post-college, working corporate sales. I was doing very well at my job when I suddenly felt the urge to quit and try something new,' she told the outlet. 'Shortly after that, I got approached for 'The Ultimatum.' I felt that the timing of this wasn't a coincidence.' Sandy Gallagher was born on 19th November 1995, making her 29-years-old. Sandy certainly had a journey filled with ups and downs while on The Ultimatum! She joined the show with her partner Nick Tramontin after he gave her an ultimatum – he was ready to leave the city and get married, while she felt she was too young. Nick and Sandy had a rocky journey on the show, with Nick's insecurities gradually impacting their relationship. This led to the couple breaking up and embarking on trial marriages with different partners on the show. Sandy went on to form a strong connection co-star star Jr Warren, who had been given an ultimatum by his girlfriend Zaina Sesay. Nick re-coupled with Vanessa but was left single when she left the show. In the end, Sandy and Nick moved back in together, but there was tension when Nick found it difficult to hear Sandy's intimate connection with JR. In the end. Nick decided not to propose, and the pair left the experiment single. The pair had a controversial journey – so how does Sandy reflect on the experience now? 'One of the most surprising things I learned about myself from going on 'The Ultimatum' is how calm and strong I can be through a highly chaotic and challenging time. I guess I never knew how far my strength could go until it was tested to new measures,' she told Lady Gunn. Yes! You can keep up to date with all things Sandy at her handle@sandy_gal.

Time Out

On a random summer night, a bouncer perched outside Bar Snack called out to me and other passersby on the street, luring us with the promise of great drinks, great food and "the best bathroom in the East Village." Reader: I am here to tell you—he was right. But if a disco-fresh bathroom isn't enough to tempt you in, the convivial nature and solid list of tasty cocktails (and snacks!) found at Bar Snack certainly will. The vibe: After surveying the East Village and its many, many (expensive) cocktail bars, bartender Iain Griffiths and Brooklyn-based bar owner Oliver Cleary decided they wanted to create something—and so they did, serving "dressed-up classics for dressed-down people." The inside gives off '70s lounge—think wood paneling and a dark, walnut-wood bar lined with glittery orange bar stools. Snagging a seat during the nighttime hours can prove difficult as this bar certainly attracts a crowd, making standing room your best bet. But even the daytime can bring a rowdy good time, as rock and throwback hits (hello Spice Girls!) blare through the speakers. The food: Snack is in the name, isn't it? And snacks, they do so well. Fried cheese curds are tossed in pickle dust and hot dogs get a little fancy with onion jam and a hot pickle. Even the drinks come with a little something, take the chicken skin chicharron that tips on the side of the Boat Snack Martini ($18). But the snack of all snacks is the Spice Bag ($18). Leaning on Griffith's Irish roots, the bag comes to the table in a white paper bag labeled "Spice Bag" fashioned in the style of the Spice Girls logo. As much as you'll want to save it, you must rip it open to reveal buttermilk-fried tendies, fries and peppers. Drizzle on the orange-y curry sauce and get to eating while its still steaming hot. The drinks: The menu is split up into "Crushers" and "Shooters," plus a dedicated daiquiri section with pitchers and tiny sippers, such as the Snaquiri ($12). The bar improves upon the classics, as the whiskey sour riff, the Split Ends ($18), incorporates raspberry and a smooth topper of Guinness, and the Verte Drip ($117) drinks like a mojito but better, swapping out cloyingly sweet notes with a light coconut float and a bit of matcha for depth. Yet the frozens are most definitely a fave, whether it's beach weather outside or not. The Mama Tried ($16) drinks like a limeaid popsicle but with a touch of smoke, thanks to a blend of triple citrus sorbet, mezcal and St. Germain.
